to you, Mr. Kruizenga, we Iune graduates say a fond farewell. To us you have proved to be a true friend with an understanding mind and an untiring devotion to the task of guiding and di- recting the educational welfare of all students in our school. We realize that your job is a hard one. Often a principal must make decisions which lie probably would be happy if he could avoid, yet he must make them. We feel that you, Mr. Kruizenga, have always been interested in build- ing honorable men and women. We believe that in the years to come, our community will reflect the influence you have had upon us all. lt may be interesting for some of the younger students to know a little more about you than they do. Born in Spring Lake, Michigan, Mr. Kruizenga received his elementary education in the schools of Ottawa County. He was graduated by Grand Haven High School, received his bach- elor of art's degree from Hope College and his masters degree from the University of Michigan. He taught three years in the 'lhill country of PRINCIPAL H. A. KRUIZENGA lackson County, Kentucky, before coming here about 20 years ago. Since arriving here he has been athletic ticket manager, coach of the tennis team, and coach of the second team in basket- ball. He was recognized as an excellent teacher cf Latin. ln l953, when ill health caused the retirement of our beloved former principal, Mr. C. F. Bolt, Mr. Kruizenga was appointed to the position. Al- though he is one of the younger principals in the state, Mr. Kruizenga already has established a reputation with students, faculty, and towns- people as a man of highest moral and ethical principles, as well as a man of energy and effi- ciency on the job. Like Mr. Bolt, he gets things done , and yet he is determined and uncompro- mising when it comes to a question of what is right and what is wrong. To you, Mr. Kruizenga, we also extend a word of thanks along with the good-byes . We ap- preciate all you have done. We hope we can meet you again in the years ahead. We hope you will be proud of us, as we are of you.
